Re: Reconciling the T&R and the cruiser in "Keyes"

In Response To: Re: Reconciling the T&R and the cruiser in "Keyes" (Simpsons Rule)


: I think the far more compelling evidence I have is that in the book the
: timestamps indicate the Master Chief was on the ship with Keyes while the
: ODSTs were assaulting The Truth and Reconciliation.

Ah, always awkward when the exact same source provides a contradiction. In the end, in that situation you basically just have to go with personal preference or what you believe in. Personally I believe it is the T&R and was damaged to some degree prior to the Flood arriving. I don't think the PoA could really have caused so much damage to multiple CCS Battle-cruisers on its own and while the battle with the Flood could be entirely responsible for all the damage, it just doesn't sit right with me.
Though of course, this is the way I've felt since 2002 when I first played Halo, so its a bit deep routed to change on such shallow evidence. I stopped trusting the timestamps in the novels a long time ago. They are nice, but I just don't totally trust them. My gut feeling on them. They've been one of the most vulnerable areas to problems.

: And I'm still of the belief if that ship was in fact
: The Truth and Reconciliation, Bungie would've told us in-game one way or
: another.

Can't say you're wrong in that belief, I just don't particularly share it. It seemed important to mention the name of the T&R in the actual level, saying as it explained the naming of the level and it sounded good.
In the more hectic ending of the game though, the name of the ship wasn't particularly relevant.
You could just as easily say that if it wasn't meant to be the same ship, they would have specifically mentioned that as well.
Truth is, they neither confirmed nor denied it was the same ship.

All we really have is an impasse.
